5.0 out of 5 stars for spidey fans primarily, August 24, 2002

By	Patrick Kelly "Shalala..." (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Spider-Man: Carnage in New York (Paperback)

Okay first of all you should only really read this book if your a spiderman fan, but i suppose if you're lookin for something new and you don't know if you want to read this i would still reccomend it, but if you are not that interested, don't bother because even though i loved it, i love pretty much anything with spiderman so if you aren't a big fan i suppose you can pass it up. it gives an in depth descripton and out look on carnage one of my favorite two villians (the other being venom, both have the alien symbioent "costumes"). it's actually quite gruesome at least when carnage is the focus of the writing so if you don't much like violence in literature, i wouldn't ever read anything with carnage in it. i also reccomend Goblin's Revenge the novel that takes place right after this one, which is also a book by Dean Wesley Smith, possibly my favorite author, who does a lot of work on Marvel character novels. so if you are a big fan, get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great-Jake, May 27, 2002

A Kid's Review

I'm a huge Spider-Man fan. I saw the movie and I'm begging my dad to take me again. I got into Spider-Man about a year ago. Around that time I was just looking around on this sight when I saw this book. I bought it immediately... and I loved it! It was a definite page-turner. This book has comic book-like drawings at the beginings of every chapter(highly detailed).
It is not like that Venom book. It gives great accounts of the fights between Spidey and Carnage. Unfortunately, this book is rather disturbing. For example, Carnage criticized someone then brutally slaughtered him. A few pages later, Spider-Man finds the remains of one of Carnage's victims draped over a balcony and then has to save a woman Carnage threw over it.
Do me a favor. Buy this book(Hope I didn't spoil it too much for you!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, July 15, 1999

This review is from: Spider-Man: Carnage in New York (Paperback)

This was a wonderful addition to any SM novel collection. It had a wonderful way of demonstrating Carnage's ruthless killing sprees. (The penthouse scene was good!)
